If you have ED, have you seen a doctor?
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is not only caused by diabetes, high blood pressure, and hardening of the arteries, says urologist and ED expert Ridwan Shabsigh, MD, a urologist at Columbia University. ED is also a symptom that precedes and predicts these conditions. That's why ED symptoms mandate a trip to the doctor for ED treatment and a full checkup that may actually help you prevent heart disease or some other major condition.
